What do you Think was the Key Play in Tonight's Game?

I'm just curious what everyone thinks. Was gonna try a poll but in a game like this there were so many choices.

My choice, after thinking about it - the offensive pass interference late in the 1st half on the Pats. They were up 21-3 and just got a 1st down on about the 15. The defense was reeling. It was looking like you'd be down 28-3 and IMO if that had happened, it would have been over. Instead they got nothing on that drive.

Re: What do you Think was the Key Play in Tonight's Game?

Bob Sanders nearly intercepting the ball and at least guaranteeing Brady's 3rd down pass would fall harmlessly to the turf and thus not only did it get us the ball back (forcing the Pats to punt) but stopped the clock (and preserved some time for us).

A Bob Sanders INT would've worked even better tho

Really... there were several defining plays in this game. I'm not sure how you pick the most important one.

Maybe it was just the Colts getting smarter about going downfield with the longball.

Nuntius was right. I was wrong. Frank Vogel has retained his job.

Re: What do you Think was the Key Play in Tonight's Game?

The key plays were the two right before the last interception. Maybe I'm just reading too much into it but I think the Colts purposely laid off on those two completions to fool the Pats into thinking the middle would be wide open. Then on the intercption play, every receiver on the field was covered like a rug. I think the Colts engaged in a little gamesmanship, giving the great Bellychuck a taste of his own medicine. Can you say OUTCOACHED!!!

That's actually not a bad theory. My dad kept saying "Pressure Brady and give them anything but the long ball."

Re: What do you Think was the Key Play in Tonight's Game?

Actually, according to the announcers it would have not been over. There was a roughing the passer on that play that would have automaticlally given them the first down anyway.

At the game we didn't know that, so everyone completely freaked out. We were all claiming heart attacks and such.

Many:

That's the real truth.

Harrison's 2pt catch after going out with the hurt hand.

Clark's big long catch and run.

Saturday yep.

But also many that went the other way...

Feet out of the back of the endzone maybe.

Odd fumble squirting out from a pile of Colts.

Samuel TD INT.

4th and 6 conversion.

We were counting up points that probably shouldn't have been and the people around me generally agreed that even when it was bad that it really wasn't that bad, that the Pats had caught a couple of nice breaks and that the defense hadn't really folded over or anything.

We really did feel that it was winnable when it was 21-3. The guy next to me and I were both saying "FG gets it to 2 TDs, this game's not over yet." There was a ton of faith at the game the entire night, even when it went bad.

Re: What do you Think was the Key Play in Tonight's Game?

Yeah Harrisons catch was huge, I had forgotten about that, some guy in my Geography class today said that Harrison stunk and didn't do anything. I was speechless to say the least, eventually I just said, 2 point conversion, your wrong.

Re: What do you Think was the Key Play in Tonight's Game?

I don't know about key play, but for me it was when Peyton would play Joe Montana style and look for first downs rather than the big plays down the field. When he simply keeps the chains moving the Colts win instead always trying to make the big pass play.
